Hispanic millennials have a better outlook when it comes to their financial future than other
millennials, according to a PNC survey.

Hispanics between the ages of 20 and 29 are more likely to say their're doing better financially
than their parents were at the same age, carry less debt than non-Hispanics and are savvy about
ways to improve their credit, the survey found.

The survey found that 57 percent of millennial Hispanics think they are doing better than their
parents were at the same age compared with 52 percent of whites and 50 percent of
African-Americans.

One potential reason for their optimism: Hispanic millennials are more likely to live with their
parents, allowing them to pay off debt and find their financial footing.
